Expected GL
item 1 service master zz2 with val.class 3002 -> 191300
item 2 description with mat group z1 w/o val.class -> 199100
item 3 description with mat group z2 with val.class 3000 -> 191100
item 4 description with mat group z3 with val.class 3001 -> 191200
Everything was posted to 199100 !!!
It seems to be using the PO item level’s material group instead of the service items material group for the GL determination
Test 2
Since it is suspicious that it could be using the item level’s material group z1, lets change it to z2
PO#2 create with material group z2
SES done on
PO#2

Test 3
In this simulation, we shall remove the blank v.class line for 199100
Since a descriptive based service is assigned to a group z1, and here is without val.class, lets assign one
Error persist
We add back to OBYC but with GL 191300
Now posting OK
Check PO history
Test 4
Add both Debit Credit Columns
Simulate same conditions, here with z1
posting OK
